Nuestro guía turístico nos ha llevado a Éfeso y la Casa de la Virgen María. Nuestro guía era muy conocedor y dispuestos a explicar la vida en Turquía. Disfrutamos de la comida y la vistas que hicimos en el lugar …
La verdad estaba muy nerviosa por lo del tour pero contratamos el tour privado y vimos casi todo istanbul fue todo muy emotivo
Hagia Sophia is a truly amazing place to visit. The fact that the structures have been preserved for such a long time is breath taking!!.
The annoying part is when people hassle you to buy books just before you enter the area.
Her you will see relics form the long and exiting history of Istanbul, really worth visiting. You just at least reserve 3-5 hours for the visit
we spent almost all day there. I was very impressed at the layout and the exhibits..
We started our tour of Istanbul with a visit to the Archeological museum. We bought the museum pass at the gate. This will give you access to the Istanbul Archaeology Museum, Topkapi, Topkapi harem, Haga Sophia and Chora museums. The pass is very convenient and saved us about 20 minutes time of queue for Topkapi and Haga Sophia.
I think we expected too much from the Hagia Sophia. It wasn't that nice on the inside and the entrance fee was too high for this.
The Grand Bazzar in Istanbul was ultra crowded, full of jewelry, tee shirt, cheap hat, spice, cheap bracelet shops and VERY, VERY PUSHY shopkeepers. This is no place for anyone with walking difficulties – or in fact for anyone.
La capital de Jonia…La ciudad de Artemisa…la segunda ciudad mas importante del imperio romano…El mayor museo el aire libre del mundo…
A lo mejor me fui mil veces a Efeso, cada vez tengo la misma emocion , la misma preocupacion de explicar muy bien la ciudad de Efeso. Porque hay que explicar todo , sin olvidarse de ningun detalle de la ciudad…porque es una ”JOYA” , es un regalo de los romanos y otras civilizaciones a Turquia.Teniendo esta importancia historica hay que explicarla con todos sus detalles.
Es una ciudad greco-romana, una de las siete maravillas del mundo se encuentra aqui.Tiene templos dedicados a Domiciano y a Hadriano, fuentes monumentales, calles de marmol blanco, con capiteles jonicos , coritios y compuestos…Despues de caminar bastante y ver muchos monumentos por el camino al final llegan a ”La Biblioteca de Celso ” se quedan sorprendidos , por que justo en frente ustedes tienen la tercera biblioteca nas grande del mundo….ES la obra MAESTRA de Efeso…
Al final llegan al Gran Teatro de Efeso ,aqui no sirven las palabras y frases , hay que verlo, un teatro con una capacidad de 24.000 espectadores…
Este es Efeso, las palabras no sirven para explicar este viaje en ”la historia”… la magia de esta antigua ciudad hay que vivirla en persona se los recomiendo es maravilloso
We had a terrific day our tour was flawlessly performed from start to finish.
